www.netlify.com/blog/10-mill... (from blog.val.town/catching-stars) a favorite part of my new job is getting to* doodle for blog posts, like this octocat (drawn with my mouse in @excalidraw.com lol)
*not just getting to, but encouraged to Check out the docs!
pris.ly/docs/create... Looping over create() looks harmless. But each call sends a separate query.
Local test inserting 50 records:
- create() in a loop → 803ms
- createMany() → 129ms
~6x faster with one line change.
Use createMany() for batch inserts. More new people discovering Netlify in the last year and a half than in the first 10 years before.
Here's my little capsule in the void:
10-million-devs.netlify.com/capsules/8?c... We just hit 10,000,000 developers on Netlify 🎉 That number is the community: people shipping real sites, real apps, side projects, docs, demos, experiments, and everything in between. Thank you for building here. 🙏

Caption to steal: “I just launched my Netlify Capsule 🛰️”
We’ll reshare favorites. To mark the moment, we built something you can participate in, with Netlify creator @leemartin.com (250+ sites deployed):
Netlify Capsules: create a payload (your site + photo + song + note), deploy it, and claim your coordinates in an AR constellation you can view in the sky. We just hit 10,000,000 developers on Netlify 🎉 That number is the community: people shipping real sites, real apps, side projects, docs, demos, experiments, and everything in between. Thank you for building here. 🙏
Ironically, legibility as a concept isn't as legible as it should be? There's no really good book or blog post on what it is and why it's important!
THREE CHEERS FOR LEGIBILITY!!!
Take a look at the plugin
github.com/davidmyersde... Using an npm package that depends on Node built-ins like `Buffer`, `stream`, or `crypto`? Using it in the browser requires polyfills
vite-plugin-node-polyfills to the rescue!
And v0.24 now works with @vite.dev 8 + @rolldown.rs, and automatically uses Rolldown's native inject for better performance Check out the docs!
pris.ly/docs/optimi... Want to see what Prisma is sending to your database and how long it takes?
You can log the raw SQL and execution time with a few lines: Find image optimization opportunities with Observability (video).
Yes, you can literally identify which asset is eating your bandwidth.
developers.netlify.com/videos/ident... Did you know that Prisma ORM lets you control how relations are loaded?
Use relationLoadStrategy: 'join' | 'query':
- join runs a single DB query with joins
- query runs multiple simpler queries
Check it out👇
pris.ly/d/relation-... My latest obsession has been optimising webhook events from Ghost to Netlify. I needed a way to filter out large payloads sent to Netlify. Using @val.town as a webhook middleware, I can strip payloads and skip triggering builds for certain posts.
jonathanyeong.com/writing/usin... To start 2026 I officially joined @stevekrouse.com, @macwright.com, and co. at @val.town as a programmer-writer, part-time while I continue writing my book :)
Val Town's founding poem is still my favorite way to describe what it is:
> If GitHub Gists could run
> And AWS Lambda were fun it's working
Debugging legacy prerendering?
This support guide walks through testing, common pitfalls, and ways to confirm bots are getting prerendered HTML.
